Faith in the Midst of Storms

As long as we walk the earth, storms of life will hit us, especially when we least expect. A storm can be short lived, prolonged, overwhelming and stressful, however, a storm is seasonal and temporary. It begins and ends.

A storm can be caused by the enemy to distract you or plant a seed of doubt in your mind so that you start questioning God's power or presence in your life. You then fail to pick the inherent lesson or see the hidden beauty of a storm.

God also causes storms in our lives to prove the genuineness of our faith; to perfect us; complete us and build our character. Storms recreate us in the image and likeness of God, as was meant to be in the beginning.

In the midst of a raging storm, do not cry and do not give up. Be still, listen to His small voice and detect His presence. He is always with us be it in the car, workplace, grocery shop and even in the midst of a raging and fiery furnace. ...ONLY BELIEVE...
